Letter: Obama should be more respectful

President Barack Obama counsels us to be respectful of Muslims — no insulting videos and such.

He would do well to show more respect toward Christians himself. Many are offended by his requirement that all employer-provided health insurance policies now include coverage for birth-control pills and abortions. While churches are exempted, there is no exemption for other nonprofits, such as Christian colleges, children's homes or charities. Nor is there an exemption for businesses owned by Christians who do not want to finance, even indirectly, the destruction of unborn human life. The fact that his requirement forces people to pay for something that is an offense to their faith apparently means nothing to the president.
